THE CREGAN CASE.

The meeting called to act on the Cregan
charges last evening was not attended
nv two thirds of all the members
elected to the County Committee,
and the action taken was not as de-
cisiye as II the full committee had been present
The meeting, however, proved pretty clearly
that the feeling against Cregan in the Republic
can ranks has not been overestimated. Inc
votes taken showed that the thoughtful ana
intelligent members of the committee are prac-
ticaly unanimous in their condemnation OF tho
methods which Cregan adopted in his district
in the last Congressional election.
Over two-thirds of the members present
voted for the majority report, and the moral
force of the vote is as strong as If it had resulted
in Cregan's expulsion. Cregan can certainly no
longer ask for Republican support IN his pre-
tensions to leadership. Unfortunately he Is
one of the men who do not recognize hint, ana
some means should be found to administer the
proper discipline within the party rules. Mean
while, let no one feel bound to give HIM allie
e1ance as leader of the Republicans IN the
XVIth District.

PARTIS1NSHTP IN TIE N1CY.

Tho marine engineer whose destructive
criticism upon Secretary Whitncy's annual re-
port remains unanswered, fires a final broadsidc
in our columns this morning. He takes the
log Of the Dolphin for the celebrated voyage
in search OF storm, and proves that the YES
sells speed was deliberately undcrstatcd in the
official reports. On a four-hours run with In
fcrior coal and with full load draught the dis
pach-boat ought to have been credited with
1870 knots. This speed was developed with
the wind blowing and the sea rough When
deduction has been made for a favorable cur
rent the speed was 14.67 knots. IL the same
quality Of coal hal been burned which Is in
variably used in the trial-trps Of English YES
sells Of war. the speed would certainly have
exceeded 10 knots; and this, too, not n n
squirt over measured milo Of smooth wafer
but for four hours at sea under adverse con-
ditions.
The Dolphin, it must be remembered WA
not designed Is a 17-knot ship. Fifteen knots
was the speed which she was expected TO de-
vcop; and neither designers nor contractors
were rel onsiblc for larger results. On her
lest iral-lnp she made 1913 or practically 1G
knots, and in her long sca-voyagc she main

reports as failure. when shc has fulfilled all

one answer to these questions. For partisan
reasons the Secretary Of the Navy de.ircd ,o

would venture to do In any circumstances. Sec
rotary Whitney Is allowed to do with IMMUNITY:
Not satisfied with having moved heaven and
earth to compass the condemnation Of the
Dolphin, no has pursued tho same partisan
methods in undertaking and disparaging the
merits of the Atlanta and Boston. 1t would
be a righteous rctributiOn if his successor were
to deal some day with the Baltimore, Charles
TON and Newark as no has dealt with the
Dolphin and Atlanta But lot us reassure the
Secretary. There is no danger of the rceur-
ronce of such exhibitions of malevolent par
,isanship after his term. His successor will be
Republican, but he will not be so deficient
in patriotism as to sacrifice the welfare OF the
Navy and the ends Of justice to partisan spite.

NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

1t is expected that report will be made to-
day to the Board of Education relative to the
salaries of teachers. According to President
Simmons, a reduction in the amount of salaries
will come only as last resort. lie says that
the Board has as much money as last year at
its disposal, but that if only that amount be
used new pupils will be uDprovldcd for, and
new schools which should lie opened will re-
main closed. Expediency and even economy
demand that the common schools receive the
most liberal support Of all our institutions at
the hands Of the guardians of the city treas
ury. The Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment has cut off the additional sum asked for
this year by the Board of Education for meeting
the extra demands from increase Of pupils.
Such action is not economy; it excludes from
the operation and protection of the public school
system tho>e who otherwise have left open TO
them the doors that lead to idlencss, to evil
habits and to crime. 1t is precisely the sort Of
niggardiness which makes necessary demand
for increased rooms for the sessions OF criminal
judges and gives cOuntcnance TO bills providing
for additional judges for the criminal branch
of jurisdiction in this city.
President Simmons does not hesitate to saw
that William X. Grace. whilo protesting TO DO
a friend of the public schools, was in his terms
Of office really their enemy. He did all he
could in the Board Of Estimate and in his ap-
pointments in the Board of Education to hamper
the schools. Better things may DO looked for
